Visual Basic Tutorials?

[Nemo]

Hey there.
Basically, doing computing for A Level and we're learning Visual Basic in Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition! Of course, i wanna be ahead of the game, so i want to learn a bit more. However after googling, i cant find anything that just teaches me the console application template (im new to all this remember so sorry if i get something wrong :P) and so this is where u guys come in really!

Would appreciate any relevant tutorials. tata.

Yes it's for VB6 and that's awful but it should give you a general grasp on BASIC syntax :)

VB6 doesn't really work in VB.net.

Their syntax is incredibly similar.

Their syntax is incredibly similar.Oh yeah the syntax will be similar, but variables were changed around a lot.

I suppose you're right in some sense, that .net opens the doors to make the language truly as powerful as its other .net sibblings. Admittedly my knowledge on .net in general is very limited most likely credited to the fact that I'm primarily a Mac guy and of course unless it's ASP .net doesn't really play nicely with cross compatibility :P

the logic syntax and loop syntax is all the same, except you use things like:


console.readline
console.write
console.writeline

to input and output things. Here's my comp 1 preliminary from last year (Skeleton program that I added to). It might be a bit complex but it should give you an idea of the major structures in a console environment: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3663961/comp1.txt

Remember i've only had 2 lessons ahah :P But thanks, that text helps a lot with showing me how certain stuff is used n whatever. I understand much of it like dim and console.writeline and all that jazz. Thankies.
